    Storage Replication - Starts fast and then slows to a crawl, second dataset slow from start. Using another way to send snapshots goes full speed.

    Update: Believe this has to do with Wireguard VPN, possibly an MTU issue but the high speed going down to a trickle is very odd. If anyone has any insight would appreciate it. Kinda new to Proxmox built in replication but I am very familiar with zfs send / recv Testing out simple storage...

    [SOLVED] Cloned my PBS, How do I generate a new fingerprint for the second server?

    Cloned my Proxmox Backup Server, How do I generate a new fingerprint/certs for the second server? Or more precisely, what is the correct procedure in this case? It currently has exactly the same fingerprint as the primary one.

    So.. who wants to hear a really really bad idea that I have currently implemented. :P

    I actually have no physical access to these machines. They are hosted/rented servers. :P I updated my script just to be a bit smarter and so far so good. I just run it on boot via cron. #!/bin/bash GrepStatus=`pvecm status | grep "Quorate: Yes"` TryCounter=0 LogFile=/quorumhax.log...

    2 x Proxmox Physical Machines (Clustered, no HA,1 public ip each, vm firewall owning the public ip) They are not in the same physical location They each have one NIC They are routed via public network to each other. (They have private nat'd ips and vpns to each other) I have them talking...

    [SOLVED] Bug? PBS backup fails with INFO: Error: error at "/INFECTED_FILES/.cache_ux0sc4.php": file with negative mtime

    PBS Backup of LXC container fails when encountering negative mtime files. This was a complete virtual server backup, not a file based client backup. I can't remember if this file has a negative mtime due to the virus/hack itself, or the quarantine method itself. Either way backup should not...

    [SOLVED] Strange Backup Behavior, Total Bytes Written 100 X actual data size, backup slow due to this...

    Hmm, yes you are correct. I just checked the zfs stats for that volume, and yes, logically it is using 300 gigs. The vm is a monitoring vm (LibreNMS and CheckMK) only monitoring about 10 servers and has a bunch of RRD files. I do not know what tools to use to figure out what files are so big...

    [SOLVED] Strange Backup Behavior, Total Bytes Written 100 X actual data size, backup slow due to this...

    I have an LXC container that takes an extremely long time to backup, and mostly because the backup process thinks it is backing up data that isnt there! This container was converted to LXC from a VM image NCDU tells me the entirety of the disk contents is about 22 gigabytes. du -hs says 23G...

    Network Card negotiates down from 1 Gig to 100 Mb

    Dealing with this exact problem, Dell Poweredge T610 network card (bnx2 driver) kept negotiating down to 100 Mbps. If I forced it with ethtool it would work fine for some "period" of time at gigabit speeds, but then suddenly renegotiate downward. Turns out I had tuned installed and set to...

    Proxmox VE 6.2 released!

    I just updated one of my machines to 6.2-4 and two of my vms are not starting. Windows 2008 and 2016. Both are using BIOS and not UEFI, and they can't find a bootable disk. "No bootable device" from Seabios Underlying storage (ZFS) looks ok. Just started debugging it now. I have another...

    [SOLVED] AMD (3dnow) Processor emulation? Intel CPU on host.

    Nevermind, figured it out! Solution: Untick KVM Hardware virtualization and then the processor itself is emulated as well! :) The image booted mostly.

    I have an old appliance (PBX system) that runs on an embedded system, AMD something https://www.pcengines.ch/alix2d3.htm My Proxmox host is Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU L5640. I have imaged the boot disk and tried to boot the embedded system, and the embedded kernel complains there is no 3d now...

    [SOLVED] ZFS dkms build fail, one server ok, one server not ok

    Hi, thank you for your response. Ok, I think I understand what is happening. The servers were both Debian upgraded to Proxmox. Debian had zfs-dkms running with debian kernel. Debian kernel was not removed at the end of installation, and wont be. Once Proxmox was installed the previously...

    [SOLVED] Proxmox + Windows Server 2008 R2 + Virtio Network = Can't get DHCP IP address

    Hi, I have already figured out the fix for this but posting it to help anyone else. In my network all my VM machines were getting DHCP properly except this machine Windows Server 2008 R2 with virtio network. I installed an Intel virtual adapter and suddenly DHCP was working. Virtio Network...

    Stop vm for backup

    Yes, all that is set correctly. I actually remembered this being a big problem in the past as well. In order to make the GUESTs run correctly, I had to change my virtio0 to scsci0 although the scsi controller is still the virtio. Having the disk devices on virtio0 caused huge latency and they...

    Backup Stop / Snapshot Hybridification Question

    Does / can Proxmox on a suitable file system (ex. ZFS), when using the Stop method of backup, have the ability to STOP the vm, snapshot the disks, start the vm, and then backup the snapshot? If Proxmox doesn't, could it? Would there be any reasons against this? Reasons for - 100% data...
